Volume 3: The Case of the Hundred Ghosts Chapter 65: The Guards of the City

"Tell me, what's going on with this case?" Coming to the familiar Spiegel Division's residence, Duan Ming put the salute on the stool on the side with a depressed face.

"You don't know?" Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming suspiciously: "This is a big deal in Linyang City." ”

"No way, I'm squatting in prison these days." Duan Ming spread his hands: "Zhu Wei, they haven't mentioned it to me either." ”

"Then why are you ......" Xing Qianqiu looked Duan Ming up and down.

"Hehe, I'm going to see Doctor Song, I heard what the little guy said about it, I guessed that you were coming ......" Duan Ming sighed: "But what the little guy said is amazing, but it's not specific, you can talk about it." ”

"You better see for yourself, we just got an explanation of the situation sent by Taishou to the capital." Xing Qianqiu said and handed a letter to Duan Ming.

Duan Ming was also not polite, took the letter and looked at it carefully.

"Enlightening the Holy One:

On the first day of October, at the beginning of the year, it is Halloween, and the moon horse will pass.

There were soldiers guarding the city, Chu Hao and Chen Zheng, who saw that there was a 'hundred ghosts walking at night' outside the south gate, and the people who walked at night were dressed in white robes and their feet did not touch the ground.

The city gate is locked but cannot be stopped, and hundreds of ghosts enter Linyang City at night.

was encountering Xu Hansan, who was beating the guard, Xu Hansan escaped and could not be killed, and his head disappeared.

The minister knew that he was unable to solve the case, so he pleaded guilty.

However, at this time, the mission of the State of Chu is in the city, and I ask Your Majesty to make a clear decision as soon as possible! ”

"Huh." Duan Ming rubbed his temples: "This Taishou is too interesting, I usually see him talking like this." ”

"Many officials in Linyang City are like this, they respect Your Majesty on the surface, but they don't actually take Your Majesty seriously." Xing Qianqiu understood what Duan Ming meant: "And this Taishou of Linyang City is the most cunning. ”

"It's really cunning, and it didn't take a few days to investigate, and then I threw the problem directly in front of Your Majesty." Duan Ming nodded: "Thanks to His Majesty's magnanimity, otherwise with this, what's the use of asking him to be too guarded?" ”

"No way." Xing Qianqiu sighed: "Your Majesty believes in the Immortal Sect and only seeks immortality, so he doesn't care about these things at all. ”

"You're really having a hard time." Duan Ming sighed.

"But what do you think after reading this?" Xing Qianqiu asked.

"It's not much different from what I've heard." Duan Ming said: "I heard that in addition to the two soldiers guarding the city, there are also many residents of Nancheng who have seen the hundred ghosts, so you can ask carefully when the time comes." But now, what we need to ask most is Chu Hao and Chen Zheng. ”

"That's right." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "When I just arrived, I had already sent someone to bring them. ”

"They are the most important eyewitnesses." Duan Ming pondered for a moment and said, "In order to prevent them from colluding with each other, you and I will each try one person. ”

"Good!" Xing Qianqiu nodded.

Then Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu separated, but because he was worried about Duan Ming's safety, Xing Qianqiu deliberately sent Xu Shizhong to follow Duan Ming, asking Xu Shizhong to guard him all the time.

Soon, Duan Ming and Xu Shizhong came to a rather dim room, and Chen Zheng was waiting nervously.

"This room is too dark." Duan Ming walked into the room and frowned: "It's better to be bright in my prison, Lao Xu, smash the windows." ”

"Okay." Xu Shizhong glanced at Duan Ming suspiciously, but he didn't ask anything, and went over to smash the window.

After all the windows were smashed open, gusts of cold wind poured into the room, freezing Chen Zheng couldn't help but shiver.

"How good is this, it's bright, and the air is fresh." Duan Ming nodded with a smile, moved a chair and sat opposite Chen Zheng, looking at Chen Zheng with a smile.

"You, you're the sixth?" Chen Zheng raised his head, looked at Duan Ming carefully, and then said in surprise.

"That's right, that's me." Duan Ming smiled and said, "Brother Chen, are you really the hell?" ”

"W, why are you here?" Chen Zheng didn't answer Duan Ming's words, but asked.

"Don't you know? I'll slay demons and catch ghosts! Duan Ming said: "No, as soon as the Spiegel Division came, they hurriedly invited me to catch ghosts." ”

"Can't catch it, can't catch it!" Chen Zheng glanced at Xu Shizhong, who was standing aside, and then whispered to Duan Ming: "Sixth, let me tell you, you leave quickly, don't get involved in this matter." ”

"Tell me what's going on?" Duan Ming glanced at Xu Shizhong next to him, and then said, "Old Xu, help me get some good wine and food, and I will have a good meal with Brother Chen." By the way, this should be your Spiegel Division's money, and it shouldn't be counted in my account afterwards. ”

"Okay." Xu Shizhong nodded and left quickly.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Duan Ming said: "Is that ghost a man or a woman, old or young? What does it look like? ”

"What are you talking about here?" Chen Zheng glanced at Xu Shizhong, who was leaving, and then asked in a low voice.

"Of course. Even the thousand knives have to listen to me. Duan Ming nodded.

"A thousand knives?" Chen Zheng's brows furrowed slightly, and then his face changed: "Are you talking about the deputy commander of the Spiegel Division?" Do you dare to call him a thousand knives? ”

"So what? He begged me, and I called him grandson, and he answered. Duan Ming straightened his chest and said, "Okay, let's talk about it quickly, what's going on?" ”

"This, alas, don't mention it. Your brother and I were going to be scared to death that day! Chen Zheng sighed deeply: "That day, Lao Chu and I were guarding the city gate, and when we were there, we saw a bunch of people outside, floating and floating towards our Linyang City, and then they floated into the city." Lao Chu and I were startled, but we couldn't leave the city gate without permission, and we didn't know if we could ring the alarm. ”

"After all, you also know that this alarm bell is sounded when there is an enemy invasion, but this invasion is not a person, it is a ghost, and we don't know what to do."

"Later, it was decided that I would continue to guard the city gate, and Lao Chu would report to Song Yi."

"Later, I heard that Xu Cripple died."

"Song Yi?" Duan Ming asked suspiciously.

"Oh, the newly sent captain of the city guard, who is in charge of us." Chen Zheng said.

"Old Chen." Duan Ming said suspiciously, "Did you see Xu Cripple that night?" ”

"Nope." Chen Zheng shook his head.

"Then how do you know it's the hour?" Duan Ming asked again.

"It's called Tsukima!" Chen Zheng said: "At that time, it was just in time to call the moon horse, and the sound came from the Surin River to our south gate. As you know, the name Tsukima started at the beginning of the day. ”

"Oh." Duan Ming nodded: "I have one more question. The only two people who defend the city are you and Brother Chu? I remember a lot of people in the past. ”

"This ......" As soon as he heard this, Chen Zheng's face showed a look of embarrassment......
